Recently had Corsa DB catback exhaust #24405 installed on my 2012 Laramie Longhorn Hemi. I also had the exhaust shop weld in my magnaflow y pipe.
My observations: If you are going to bother doing a catback system or have an exhaust shop fab up an entirely new exhaust system then I would recommend the y pipe, especially if you plan on doing more extensive mods. The factory y pipe is pathetic. I looked at it after they cut it out and the pipe is really squished down-I don't know why because there is plenty of clearance for it to be done right. The shop did a great job of installing the catback exhaust and y pipe. I had them also weld in the catback system so I don't have to worry about it coming loose. Only took them an hour and 15 min. and cost $150.
Like all the reviews I read on the corsa-there is absolutely no drone and in the cab it is hardly noticeable over stock-very quiet. It is definitely louder than stock outside the cab, but definitely not way louder. I actually thought it would be louder than what it is-with that being said it is as loud as the Magnaflow catback (dual out the back as well) that I had on my 07' Ram Hemi. The tips are 4" on this system which I think look good-although some guys like the 5". Anyhow-I am happy with my purchase and would not choose another catback. If you like it loud then I would recommend just doing a muffler delete (cheap route) or go to an electric cutout. I have a QTP on my 01' Carmaro and love it. It has broke 1 time in 9 years and QTP replaced it for $45. I strongly considered it again. If nothing else I can always add one to this system. :smiley_thumbs_up:
